Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the BBC's poetry archive and selects a special collection of programmes across the month featuring eminent poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes.  And we drop in on Daljit's poetry writing class at Brunel University and talk to his students about the influence of Plath and Hughes on the next generation of poets.   

The first of the programmes is Two Of A Kind - Poets In Partnership featuring both poets talking about their writing, how they influence each other and their domestic life together.

Other programmes across the month will feature Listening and Writing produced for Schools Radio and written and presented by Ted Hughes (1963) and the Living Poet with Sylvia Plath recorded shortly before her death in February 1963.
